Interesting. Seems most of these leader types want to hold onto power until their dying breath.

Hopefully, God blessed him with a dream (or someone shared The Gospel), he's become a Christian, and he can no longer in good conscience lead a muslim country, or is repenting of what he's done to Christians, Jewish people, and Israel, and God has led him to not run again.

So his term ends in 2028. Wonder if he will try to go out with a bang.

He has 2 sons. One is completely uninterested in politics, the other has always been of interest to me ever since Erdo started to drive Turkey back into Islamic fundamentalism, which went against their constitution by the way. Ataturk who designed modern Turkey after the fall of the Ottoman Empire, wanted a western democracy and he outlawed the fez and burqua both visible signs of Islamic ideology. He wanted a secular democracy, and religion to be private.

Turkey was friendly to Israel until Erdo came in, and started destroying Ataturks vision. He said "Democracy is like a bus, you ride it till it takes you as far as you want to go!" The context was using democracy to bring back the Islamic Caliphate.
